โœฆ Synopsis


A case is reported in which the abnormal course of a pulmonary vein was suggested by computed tomography and confirmed by digital subtraction angiography. The vein drained blood from the right middle lobe into the apical pulmonary vein. This abnormality was probably due to abnormal segmentation of the right lung. Comparable cases have been reported in the literature. It is important to distinguish these benign lesions from more complex malformations because of the therapeutic and prognostic implications. The radiologic findings of this case and a systematic overview of pulmonary vein abnormalities is provided.
